Ted Cruz Told Us What to Expect

Conservatives are enraged that Trump betrayed Republicans by cutting a deal with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi to tie hurricane relief to jacking up the debt ceiling even further, making it obvious that fiscal responsibility is still nowhere in sight, even as the national debt reaches potentially catastrophic proportions. It’s not as if no one saw this coming. Politistick quotes Ted Cruz from January 2016:

“Donald just a couple of days ago drew the difference between me and him. And he said, look, Ted won’t go along to get along. He won’t cut a deal. So if as a voter you think what we need is more Republicans in Washington to cut a deal with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, then I guess Donald Trump’s your guy.”

Getting Schumer and Pelosi to raise the debt ceiling requires about as much deal-making talent as negotiating to get Shrillary to guzzle another glass of scotch.

BTW, the national debt is now just a hair under $20,000,000,000,000.00, not counting unfunded liabilities, and skyrocketing upward as rapidly as ever.

For the next big deal, Trump will work with leftists to bestow upon us comprehensive immigration reform — a.k.a. amnesty. How nice to have a President who gets things done.
